Property Summary
Property Details
Prospect Place sits in grounds of approximately 0.441 Acres (0.179 Hectares) being principally laid to grass. This good looking red brick house presents classic country Victorian style with well balanced sash type windows beneath a pantile roof, encasing in part the original timber frame of an earlier period. The front porch, enlarging the entrance area and enabling a staircase to rise to the first floor servces two ground floor reception rooms each linking with the sizeable kitchen and laundry room at the rear. A later but still early, side extension created a large dining room along with a corresponding bedroom above. With stairs at the front and a rear staircase also, the first floor is well connected and includes four bedrooms and bathroom including a 'Jack & Jill' element. The owners have made great strides in getting the property 'market ready' in recent months showing the house off nicely. There is scope for new owners to move the house on further by putting their own 'stamp' on the interior. Currently heating is by way of an oil fired Stanley Range Cooker and new owners are quite likely to replace with a heating source of their choice. Outside, to the rear of the house sits a further area of great scope being a single storey outbuilding which whilst re-roofed offers scope for conversion to workshop/studio type space or, subject to Planning Permission, linking to the main house. The plot lends itself likewise for construction of a garage building which given the space on offer, could easily include, subject to Planning Permission, a double or triple type building. All in all, this is a cracking opportunity or new owners to enjoy a detached red brick house with no close neighbours and open fields bordering.

Gardens & Grounds
The plot extends to approximately 0.0441 Acres/0.179 Hectares (Source: Promap) with well established hedged and tree lined boundaries including ditches along the field side. The gated front access has a car 'pull-in' from the road prior to the gravelled parking area to the front of the house. A dilapidated steel frame/onduline roofed garage type building sits to the right hand side with the space lending itself to siting a double garage/cart lodge building, subject to Planning Permission. The gardens are principally grassed with shrubs and hedging here and there. To the rear of the house sits a flagstone type terrace leading up to the lawn and the OUTBUILDING. The outbuilding behind the house comprises two parts under a re-roofed covering of French pantiles. The two parts comprise 17'11 x 8'9 and 8'7 x 7'11 and together could prove particularly useful and an asset to the property with some investment. Elsewhere, an aluminium GREENHOUSE will remain. A Titan oil storage tank holds 1800Lt/400 Gallons and supplies the Stanley Range Cooker.
